How did prohibition affect crime in the US?
Prohibition had the effect of escalating crime in the United States. When the selling of alcohol was legal, there was no fighting between gangs and other groups for the control of liquor. With the advent of prohibition, the problem of purchase, distribution, and killing for liquor rights became a primary factor in liquor consumption. There arose numerous "speak-easies," in which patrons attempting to enter bars were stopped at the door by bouncers, who inspected them through a small window in the door, and only after questioning them to ensure they were not law enforcement, allowed them into the bars. It was against the law to leave the bars with liquor to take to homes. It was not until the repeal of Prohibition that the territorial and individual fights over liquor calmed down and became organized and more safe. In some rural areas, many moonshiners made their livings by manufacturing and selling their "moonshine" rather than the more expensive brand liquor.
